## Lookback Time

Light travels at a finite speed, so observing a distant object means seeing it as it was in the past.

### Simple Estimate

**t ≈ d / c**

where d is in light-years and t in years. Since 1 Mpc ≈ 3.262 Mly, the lookback time in millions of years equals the distance in Mpc × 3.262.

For very large distances, cosmological expansion makes this an underestimate of the true lookback time.

हल किया गया उदाहरण

A galaxy is 100 Mpc away.

  1. t ≈ 100 Mpc × 3.262 Mly/Mpc = 326.2 Mly
  2. We see this galaxy as it was 326 million years ago.
  3. In Gyr: 0.326 Gyr
